Scope and purpose

December 2nd is a more traditional, sit-down-around-a-conference-table kind of meeting with funders, partners, and co-conveners at the offices of the American Alliance of Museums.
The purpose of the December 2nd meeting is to sift through and digest inputs from the December 1st unconference/Ignite and facilitate a sustained discussion and debate about the scope and validity of the Openlab Concept.

This meeting is full - - but...

...we're going to run it as openly and transparently as possible (see below)
And the December 1st unconference and Ignite is free and open - - Register

We will be live-tweeting and (probably) wiki-casting this meeting

We'll use the Chatham House Rule - - everything said can (and probably will) be repeated publicly, but comments can only be attributed to speakers with their permission
Conversations will be tweeted and written on the wiki in real-time
Please join us and participate virtually through Twitter at @OpenlabW and #openlabworkshop
